Everything turned out delicious. The verdict?
Turkey: buying kosher results in a moist bird, but salty leftovers. A leave-in probe thermometer is a great investment. Get one now.
Cranberry sauce: 1 bag berries boiled with 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp zest, and with 2 tsp triple sec stirred in after cooking. A hit, and surprisingly fresh-tasting given that there was no orange juice involved.
Buttermilk mashed potatoes: buttermilk gives a nice tang, but makes for watery leftovers.
Green beans: surprisingly, doesn't need oil. Sliced almonds were a welcome addition.
Pie: Trader Joe's crust from the frozen case was a little thick for my liking, but shattered satisfyingly on first slice. The apples took an awfully long time to slice up.
